Support BrainWaves: Transform Adolescent Wellbeing
BrainWaves is a registered charity and is running one of the largest-ever studies of young people’s mental health and wellbeing. By generating high-quality, longitudinal data, we are helping shape better prevention, education, and treatment across adolescent mental health, backed by cutting-edge scientific evidence and real-world impact.
This work wouldn’t be possible without supporters and partners who share our commitment to evidence, equity, and long-term change.
Why your support matters
Our small but dedicated team has made remarkable progress, but the scale and ambition of BrainWaves require continued investment. Partners and funders help us to:
- Expand the national cohort study to deepen scientific insight over time
- Support open-access data infrastructure that fuels global research
- Translate evidence into resources and tools that schools and educators can use
- Develop and evaluate interventions centered on young people’s needs
With strong support, we can accelerate discovery and ensure research findings make a real difference in classrooms and communities.
We support BrainWaves because they are tackling one of the most urgent and under-addressed challenges facing the UK today. Their approach stands out for combining new, evidence-led academic insights with practical delivery. We’re delighted that our funding has enabled BrainWaves to reach more young people and educators with their thoughtful, high-quality mental health and wellbeing resources. We would definitely encourage other funders to get involved - their staff are knowledgeable and professional, and they have been a wonderful organisation to work with.
